Flutter by, flutter cardigan

Ugh. It’s finished, and I don’t like it. Not at all.I’m not going to show you a picture of it on me. Not flattering. I knew this was going to happen when I started it; I don’t know why I proceeded anyway. Maybe a vain hope it would defy odds and look good.I don’t know what to do with it now, I want to rip it all out and make something else, but I don’t want to waste all that work either. I think I’ll put it in timeout until I’m less emotional about it. I hate it when things don’t look good on me, it makes me sad.

So, I need a project that will cheer me up and make me feel better. Any suggestions? I still can’t start Alice’s Good Stripe Dress as the needles haven’t yet come into my lys. *sigh* I hate waiting.

I was thinking maybe a colourwork afghan from Cover Up with Nicky Epstein (Ravlink) but I’m not sure. Or maybe this one? After all, it’s named after me lol.

I think I’ve hit a bit of a knitting doldrum. Maybe I’ll spend the afternoon looking through my books and mags and hope that inspiration strikes!

That’s so disappointing for you. It’s a beautiful knit so I think Alrischa has the right idea. It will prove to be the perfect present for someone. I pre-ordered the Cookie A. book too but while mine hasn’t arrived yet Claire (Clarabel) brought her copy to SnB this evening so I had a good look through – you won’t be disappointed. I *really* can’t wait to get mine now.Hey, you’ll find this funny: the word verification I have to type in for this comment is…prolowe – Ha Ha Ha!!!
